Hello Everyone! Thank you for a sucessful Group Buy last year. I still have A LOT of extras which I need to get rid of. Sadly, I will not be doing any more Group Buys, so once these keys are gone, they will be gone for good. If you are excited about this set, please tell all your friends and get the word out. Thanks!

In order of appearance below, each new legend you see could not be possible without harlw (Brotherhood of Steel Helmet) and mogo (Lucky 38) from our 00Keys team. Also a nod to MikeTheTiger who pushed for Blue/Yellow Mini Nukes to be a thing. Vault 21 is represented simply to further the Vault key count (thanks for the encouragement, UsualSuspectXXX).

Out of the Vault - Junktown II: New Vegas Legends

(Complete set of all 16 keys in a single profile)

Manufacturer: Signature Plastics

Size and Material: 1x1u ABS and Polycarbonate Translucent (similar plastic used in making safety glasses)

Stem Type: Cherry MX

Pick-a-Profile: Choose from SA Row 1, SA Row 3, or DSA. Each set is 16 keys seen pictured in one profile of your choice.

Pricing:$50 USD Shipped US / $65 USD Shipped International; you may order additional sets at $50 USD each, no order limits.

Invoicing: Invoices will be sent out within about 48 hours of receipt of order as we go along. Please pay as soon as possible. Any invoice not paid by May 1st, 2017 will be discarded.

Duration: This Group Buy will run from April 1st - April 21st 2017. All payments are due no later than May 1st. No exceptions.

ETA:Order has been placed officially on May 12th, 2017. SP estimates sometime in November for production, and has assured me that the keycaps will ship at the end of November 2017. Assuming all goes well, I hope to have all orders shipped by the end of December 2017. Just like last time, I plan to ship all international orders first. This will help ensure that just about everyone will receive their 'caps within one week of each other, give or take customs time frame.

Just in case someone is new to SA and wonders just how they can fit a standard factory direct keyboard with OEM, here is a picture of a Razer Esc OEM profile keycap next to a SA Row 3 'cap. DSA would be much squattier:

FAQ's:

More

Q: Why make a large set? Why not just break it up into single colors? A: Organization and communication ease. It is far easier to invoice/pack orders in terms of complete sets of 16 keys than breaking it down to each individual colorway. Mistakes can be minimized using this method, and MOQ's are easier to obtain when each order can count across the board and not simply to one colorway set. This also allows for a lower MOQ overall and will thus ensure that the entire profile set will be made.

Q: Can I buy more than one set? A: Yes. You may purchase as many sets as you like. Remember that US shipping will be included in the price of each set, and only a $10 charge per order (not set) for shipping International regardless of the amount of keycap sets purchased.

Q: I want a few keys not 16 and I live in another country. What can I do?A: You may come together with like-minded people and coordinate a bulk order. We are a community and we can trade/share among ourselves when common interests are involved. Let it be known that I hereby encourage people to Sub-Organize their own bulk orders for their local/region/country/club benefit.

Should anyone want to coordinate a bulk order for say, Canada, I will only be responsible to filling the order I ship to that Sub Organizer to his/her address in Canada. I will not be responsible for any issues which may arise between the Sub Organizer and his/her customers/subjects.

So, should anyone take part combining orders for mutual keycap proliferation, 00Keys will not be responsible for shenanigans perpetrated between the sub-buy participants should they go on, please remember Miami Nights, and be careful among yourselves.

Update 1.29.18: Extras ordering now available! I will do my best to keep up with them as we go along, and if they close without warning from time to time, not to fret. It just means I need to play catch up.

Hope everyone is having a good evening. Nothing much to report now as orders are at a little bit of a stand still, but I have been to occupied to keep up with posting on reddit regularly as of late...to those who may be concerned about the numbers, don't be. I believe once we get closer to the end we will have the numbers we need.

Well, I just bit at the bait. I eyed it for a good few days here too... $50 is money I really don't have right now, but it looks like I'm spending it anyway. I'll be putting some other projects on hold for a month or two, and praying for extra hours...

Personally, I think it's simply a harder sell when it's these massive sets like this one. Last years 8 key set seemed to do very nicely for a base cost of $25. Ultimately, it got culled down to 8, and all seemed well. Honestly I sorta kinda expected something similar to happen to this one, but discussion only centered on replacing colorways, not eliminating colorways or dupes. This set just seems... "Spammingly yuge!". It's literally only four key legends and four colorways with a "one of each combo" as it's philosophy.

I have little to no interest in the metallic keys (though others seem to love them, so I concede that). Even the nifty polycarbonate keys are just dupes of the blues. I guess I really only even care about vaults (or places) in yellow on blue (or grey). I think everyone wants unique bombs, so having bombs in all the available colorways is fine. The other icons (such as the BoS helmet, in this case), would work very well in the metallic, as is also the case with the Lucky 38 key. BoS might have done well inverted, with the "Steel" on a black backdrop (or another color). I guess to me, the Lucky 38 and the vault in the polycarb variants seem like they'd be out of place extras. Cool as individual keys, but not as part of an organized cluster, like I'd have. There's also only so many keys to put keycaps on! This is what will be seeing use of these keys, and I'll probably only use about 5 of them, tops. If more vaults came out, or I got Nuka Colas (I can dream), or other unique iconographic key caps (like the BoS helmet), It'd likely replace the colored top row on the number pad with those. If anything, I'd do my best to try to color match as much as I can cobble, with what I have, and replace some of the Danger Zone specialty keys with vaults. If I could collect enough vaults, I might even consider having vaults AS function keys... Maybe someday...

Still... It's like the gatdurned pok-e-mans... Gotta catch 'em all... Even the keys i don't use... I probably will just stuff in a drawer somewhere.

To this day, I wish i'd known about these things when I could still have snagged a Vault 13 or a Nuka Cola... I cri e'rry time... That is why I will eat ramen for the next month.

One more idea... I saw someone use their bomb keys as Page Up/Down or Home/End keys. That was a pretty creative use for the bombs... It occurs to me, that if you ever set us up the bomb that's parallel tot eh key edge, as opposed to being set at a 45° angle to the edge, Then that might open the possibility of a whole new line of bomb keys that could function as arrows, or other directional applications (such as Home/End, WASD, etc). Offering the option of one bomb or multiples 2 or 4 bombs of a single colorway (in a potential future GB), especially if a directional bomb design were implemented, could make for the ability to bump the quantities of a single color way up, helping the price, as well as providing a use beyond mere decorative novelty. I mean, you can kinda do this with he bombs, as is, but it just opens an idea for the future, something new.

Well, I just bit the bait. I eyed it for a good few days here too... $50 is money I really can't afford to spend right now, but am anyway. I'll be putting some other projects on hold for a month or two, and praying for extra hours...

You certainly brought a big ol' smile to my face just now. Thanks again for your support and dedication.

Here's the funny thing, Bro can sell his single caps for more than I am selling for a set of 16 and people line up to raffle just to get a chance to buy one of his...with me you get 16 keys in the profile of your choice.

I am certainly learning some lessons with this GB, for sure...

Yeah, I know I can always appreciate these caps, cause there's a whole variety of caps out there that go well together, and I just happened to set my sights on Danger Zone, and love Fallout. I couldn't ask for anything better paired than those two! As far as the Fallout keys go, I don't have 'em all. Like I said, I got into this game recently, only 2 years ago. I'd rather suffer a little now to have a few unnecessary extra keys, than lament the buy that got away.

Still, I only have so much keyboard real estate, so I gots'ta be selective!
